Lord of the Dance Songtext
von Vulcan’s Hammer

I danced in the morning when the world began
And I danced on the moon and the stars and the sun
Came down from the heaven and I danced on Earth
In Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance then wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
And I′ll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he

I danced to the scribe and the pharisee
But they would not dance so they wouldn′t follow me
So I danced for the bishop and for James and John
They came with me and the dance went on

Dance then wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he


I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
And the holy people they said it was a shame
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high
Left me there on a cross to die

Dance then wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
And I′ll lead you all wherever you may be
And I′ll lead you all in the dance said he

I danced on a friday when the sky turned black
But it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body and they thought I′d gone
But I am the dance and I still go on

Dance then wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I′ll lead you all in the dance said he

They cut me down but I leapt up high
For I am the life that will never never die
I'll live in you and you′ll live in me
For I am the lord of the dance said he


Dance then wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he
